tonight president obama and mitt romney take the stage in the first of three presidential debate. we'll take a look at the hall in denver where it will take place. an entire segment will be devoted to the key issue of health care in america. joining me is elizabeth cohen to discuss how this might actually unfold. before we get to the debate, remind us of the differences between each candidate on health care. >> right, zoraida, there are some real philosophical differences. let's boil it down here. obama care mandates that all of us, you, me, nearly all of us buy insurance and it also mandates that insurance companies accept everybody, even if you've got an expensive preexisting condition. the romney plan is to appeal obama care, which means there will be no mandate to buy insurance. also, he's going to have fewer requirements on insurance companies. he's not going to tell insurance companies what to do, to the same extent obama does. >> let's get to the debate. let's start with governor romney. how might he score points? >> he's recently been running an ad that talks about how oba
